This collection of Java Multiple Choice Questions and Answers (MCQs): Quizzes & Practice Tests with Answer focuses on “Data structures (Arrays)”.

1. What is the type of variables “b” and “d” in the following code?

int a[], b;
int []c, d;

A ‘b’ and ‘d’ are of type int

B ‘b’ and ‘d’ are arrays of type int

C ‘b’ is a variable of type int; ‘d’ is an array of type int

D ‘d’ is a variable of type int; ‘b’ is an array of type int

If square brackets [] is declared after the variable, it only applies to a single variable. If square brackets [] is declared before the variable, it applies to all variables.

2. Which of the following statements is incorrect?

int arr[];
arr = new int[9];

int arr[] = int [9] new;

int [] arr = new int[9];

int arr[] = new int[9] ;

The “new” operator must be replaced by the type of array and the size of the array. The order is important. Example: A, C, et D are corrects.

3. What does this code display?

int arr[] = new int [9];
System.out.print(arr);

A 00000

B 0

C value stored in arr[0]

D Garbage value

“arr” points to an array of integers. System.out.print(arr); will display the garbage value. This is not the same as displaying arr[0].

Garbage value designates the unused values available in memory when it is declared.

4. What does this code display?

Object[] cars = new String[3];
cars[0] = new Integer(0);

A The code runs successfully

B Compilation error
